The thing that is really bothering me with this (it was just mentioned on CNN) is the psychological effects that this bomb creates, and that it was
MADE to do exactly that, hence its size. That 1.6km shockwave radius is sure to instil PTSD on unsuspecting civilians in the area.

Afghanistan is asking us for help...not ISIS or the Taliban....I understand your line of thought but if the US was as #ed up as Afghanistan and we had
to ask someone for help it would be welcomed if there were groups of people who would come to your town, kill all the elders, rape your women and kill
you livestock.

The message sent today - don't kill our troops or we will send something that will kill you all.

How about don t invade other countrys?

If another country invaded the USA you would fight the invaders, so whata ct suprsied when other countrys do the same when US troops
invade?

How about don't fly planes into big towers in a country unless you are asking for trouble? Kind of like poking at a hornet's nest

At 2:00 min is gold

I just wonder how many bombs will miss the ISIS leaders COMPLETELY to keep the war ongoing?

Well seeing as it was a bunch of Saudi Arabians that did it, part of a group sponsored by Saudi Arabians and lead by a Saudi Arabian......I think you
invaded the wrong country.

I am not too fussed at the morality of Afghanistan compared to Iraq, hell every empire has had a shot at graveyard of empires so the USA deserves a
shot too. Just dont complain if the natives shoot back!

Oh I get it, believe me. But these guys don't mind dying for their cause. If anything, this type of thing radicalizes them even more. Plus it doesn't
do much to eradicate the lone wolves out there who are being radicalized online. Wish we could unleash a MOAB super bug to scour the internet and
destroy their online sites.

I'd love to think dropping these bombs will help our cause, but I'm just not convinced.

Is that the animals that burn people in cages, or the animals who just get involved in firefights like the one that killed this green
beret?

Yes

Because Muslims believe in an eye for an eye...

To be expected... we've got plenty of weapons for that reality, too.

If you want them defiling your dead when they pop up, you're proposing the right idea.

I'm actually more concerned with them defiling the living, something which they've excelled at in that region for quite some time. See, when I'm dead
(and most Americans feel this way too, I'm fairly sure) I'm dead. Burn my carcass, throw bacon on it (please do), piss on it, I will care not because
I'll be dead... so threats of "OMG, they'll defile US corpses" pale in comparison to the reality of these animals presently defiling the
living. So yeah, let them "double down" and let's see who flinches first.

What kind of PTSD is created, do you suppose, by having a hive full of murderous thugs...who cut off the heads of innocent civilians like trimming
their fingernails, and who bomb markets and places of worship...living near enough to you that you would have felt the shockwave from this bomb.

It might have scared the daylights out of you when it went off, but guess what, you can sleep soundly tonight knowing the Jihadis in your midst are
all gone.

The British RAF had a bomb weighing 22.000 pounds, so don't get so overjoyed with 21,000 LBs, and the fantastic Lancaster bomber carried it, all
the way to Norway to cripple the Tirpitz , sister ship to the Bismarck.
I think the 22,000 Lb bomb was called 'grandslam'.
I have not read all posts on this thread, so if this is old news, sorry.

Why not? Did the "grandslam" have an extra 10 meter blast radius or something?
